5K Block the Sun Run May 11

May is Melanoma Awareness Month and the Andy Caress Melanoma Foundation is gearing up for the third annual Block the Sun Run at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, May 11, in Glendale, 15 miles north of Cincinnati.

The 5K run/walk begins and ends near the Glendale Village Square, traversing the hills and curving streets of the historic community. The online registration fee is $30 (through May 7 at 6 p.m.) and includes an Andy Caress Melanoma Foundation race perk, and admittance to the Victory Bash Beer & Music Fest at Glenview Golf Course immediately following the event. Late registration is $40 and can be completed at Bob Roncker's Running Spot in Glendale from noon to 6 p.m. Friday, May 10, and 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 11. Children 12 & under are free.

All proceeds from the Sun Run benefit the Andy Caress Melanoma Foundation, which was established by Andy Caress who lost his battle with the disease in August 2010, eight days before his 25th birthday. Last year's Sun Run raised more than $10,000. For more information about the 5K Block the Sun Run and the Andy Caress Melanoma Foundation, visit www.andycaress.org.

Immediately following the 5K, participants and contributors are invited to the Victory Bash Beer & Music Fest after party at the Glenview Golf Course at 10965 Springfield Pike, Cincinnati, Ohio 45245. The event - featuring Glow Golf, live music, food and a silent auction - will benefit the local Cancer Community through the efforts of 53C, Liga Latina de Futbol, Eastgate Classic Chevy Club, and the Andy Caress Melanoma Foundation. ACMF apparel will be available for purchase.
